Re: I'm preparing to order
I actually believe that the only part that is reusable is the disc. I think you can order a new kit at a reduced price directly from the exploration website. I have wondered about saving the projects so that the next child will only need to do the experiments not actually build the projects, but tha...

Re: Looking for new guide's Living Library book list -
But SURELY some of you wonderful ladies have seen the list when visiting conventions! I think I've read that Kisses from Katie is one title as well as Lantern in Her Hand. What are some other titles?

Re: Atoms in the Family in MTMM-not sure ds can understand i
Any of the suggestions you mentioned would be perfect. You have to help your son be successful. There is no "wrong way" to HS you DS. That is probably one of the biggest reasons why you began HS him in the first place. Out of your suggestions I like the one about reading just that book out loud to h...

Re: Advice- accomodations for dyslexia
I do not require lengthy written narrations. I significantly shorten the number of sentences and require instead that the narration make sense and communicate the point that she wants to share. I don't remember if Charlotte mason herself required certain lengths for her students written narrations o...

Re: I'm thinking through my options for next year
You could choose to do the read alouds from just 1 set. For us this year I'm choosing to read aloud the preparing set to everyone. For rev 2rev and ctc they read their read alouds to themselves as an extension of their history. They read all DITHOR on their own

Re: How do you teach the
It is your homeschool, you can do what you wish. but i like the lesson of attention as well. They need to pay attention closely the first time or they get it wrong. Trust me after that happens once or twice they no longer ask for repeats. The only time I repeat a passage is if I am distracted or if ...

Re: How do you teach the
Read through the passage together out loud. Review any new (bolded) or tricky words. Discuss punctuation and capitalization. Put the passage away. Speak each section slowly and clearly to the child. Depending on the age and ability I say 3-5 words for a younger child or one new to dictation. As they...

Re: Reading Break?
Even if you work on reading hit and miss during the break I think it would be ok. 2 or 3 times per week is better than not at all. You could focus on just reviewing learned skills during those quick sessions. That way your dc won't lose ground and forget, then when life calms down, you can pick up t...

Re: Finished DITHOR 2/3, now what?
When my kids finish their assigned DITHOR for the year, I don't typically assign any more. I just let them read for pleasure. That said, are you sure you haven't skipped a genre? Did you allow 5 days for the project at the end of each genre? If you skipped either of these then that would make you be...

Re: MTMM for high school....my plan
Shakespeare is done 1 time per unit. I'm not sure that I would be willing to buy the entire guide in order to complete that 1 box just 1 time each unit. The stories are read in order, often splitting up the longer stories into 2 parts. The notebook pages have a picture to color. If you didn't have t...
